June 24 marks another important milestone for Eagle Lake, Eagle Lake Property Owners Inc. (ELPOI), our property owners, and everyone who treasures this special lake.
ELPOI has completed treatment of the southwest side of Eagle Lake with ProcellaCOR EC, concluding the herbicidal treatment of the entire lake. We are hopeful that this year’s treatment will produce results similar to last year’s successful efforts.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Ready-Scout LLC for its professional work and continued partnership. The progress made at Eagle Lake has been recognized by Adirondack organizations, and we are proud that the commitment and persistence of our lake community continue to make a difference.
Our work, however, must continue. Milfoil can return, and ongoing monitoring and treatment are essential to protecting Eagle Lake’s natural ecological balance, water quality, and recreational enjoyment.
This year’s treatment cost is approximately $37,000. Through the Wine and Cheese Fundraiser, ELPOI has already raised $11,675 toward our seasonal fundraising goal of $30,000.
ELPOI has sufficient funds to pay for this year’s treatment by combining resources from the General Fund and the Invasive Fund. However, our goal is to rely primarily on the Invasive Fund so that ELPOI can continue to protect Eagle Lake without reducing resources needed for other important lake and community priorities.
We are grateful for the many comments about Eagle Lake’s beauty, clean water, and the enjoyment of a lake free from milfoil. Maintaining those qualities requires the support of our entire community.
